September 1989 at McPherson Square Station on the Washington DC Metro. I slowed the shutter speed to blur the train. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

Wow, that's an awesome photograph. I saw in a TV special on the Chesapeake Bay that ospreys are expert at fishing and they compete with eagles, who are less adept at it. The eagles, being stronger and more adept at flying, will sometimes swoop in on ospreys and take their fish, sometimes in...

I'd never heard of these, but after studying your photograph I had a pretty clear notion of what was going on there and did a little reading about them. Your Table looks great! (y)

Wow, lots of great shots posted @Marilynne. This one of the boat is especially neat I think.

Hahha! Sounds like a place I'd like to call home. :)

NASSAU Tower at Princton Jct., NJ in July 1978. It was built in 1944. Railroad towers were often named and this one was named for Nassau Hall on the nearby Princeton University campus. Nassau Tower has since been remotely controlled and is closed today, but it still stands. [Nikkormat FTn...

That's a beautifully maintained right-of-way @Needa. Those trains run pretty fast, right?

This afternoon's empty grain train 51D moves north at Simpson, SC. [D5100]

Those are neat recollections you have. My brother and I loved messing with hi-fi stereo equipment. We grew up in the latter 1960s and 1970s and before we could drive, a trip to Radio Shack as driven by our mother was the greatest thing. Back then in the Chicago area we had not only Radio...
